Tolko Industries is appealing the fine, but isn't contesting that the logging road it built in 2011 led to the landslide six years later

Vernon-based Tolko Industries is appealing a $75,000 fine that arose after a logging road it built led to a landslide.

The decision states that the landslide caused damage to Crown timber, the ecosystem, fish and habitat. A district manager imposed the $75,000 administrative penalty in accordance with the Forest and Range Practices Act. Tolko's appeal of the fine came in 2022, and at that time Tolko cited 11 grounds for the appeal, including that there was no proof that its road construction caused the landslide, and that insufficient weight had been given to whether other factors beyond the road construction had caused the landslide.

Instead, Tolko pushed forward with other grounds of its appeal, which included that the $75,000 fine was excessive, and that the contravention was not as serious as decision makers had originally found.
